Which would you pick?

For stability, and speeds being reached, and overclocking friendlieness which would you pick from between these P4's.

1.) 2.4-GHz Northwood 533-FSB $161 US
2.) 2.53-GHz Northwood 533-FSB $174 US
3.) 2.66-GHz Northwood 533-FSB $190 US

If the 2.4Ghz is the B revision, then get it.

Yeah, the 2.4B is supposed to be one of the best.

The following was cut from the online add that I saw the 2.4 P4 in, does the 2.4"B"GHz mean it is the B processor you are talking about??

Read this review: http://www.ocaddiction.com/reviews/c...boverclocking/ They used the abit IT7 max in their review, and since then, several folks have had great success using the asus p4p800 and 3200 ram with this 2.4b 533mhz.

Either the:
2.4B SL6RZ
Or
2.53 SL6S2
both OEM so you can get your own kickass cooling set up.

If possible get a Malay manufactured chip. Costa Ricas are more hit or miss. I got a good Costa Rica 2.53 which can do 3.4 on a P4PE but cant get past 3.04 on this board.
Some 2.4b do 3.4 and some 2.53 do 3.6 if you are into really extreme overclocking.
